Three cheers for Hawking Radiation.
From the abstract: “may be the last interesting astrophysical transients to occur prior to heat death.”
Like the universe’s going away party. Cool.
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide

Someday maybe I'll forgive you for getting it stuck in my head...
You know what's funny, I used "champagne" in my post body and absolutely didn't connect it until this moment. I was definitely not trying to be cheeky.

Not to distract from the importance of the current situation, but here's a quick, fun bit of baseball history:
